- What you understand about the context and the HESC
The group report:
* Negotiate with your group members to reach a common understanding of the management challenge. Re-state the problem in the context of your chosen management perspective as a research question.
* You may have to do some research on ‘how best to formulate a research question.'
* Write a report justifying why your research approach to solving the management challenges should be adopted.
* This assignment is about taking the learning experiences from the 1st and 2nd assignments, and developing a focused set of practical recommendations for the PO. In this case, you are going to be advising the FFCRC suggest potential transition plans to the HESC project to move from demonstration to full operation in as climate friendly a way as possible.
* Compile group members' ideas together using what you learned in A1 and A2, recombine what you understand about the context and the HESC project to consolidate what you understand about the context of HESC
* While not losing sight of the interconnected nature of managerial issues, you should pick a specific area to focus on (e.g. environment (competitors?) HRM (training?) Ethics? (social license? CSR?) that is relevant in offering solutions to management challenges.
* Depending on your focus, you may wish to continue to conduct both external and/or internal environment research involving critically analysing and synthesising business information.
* Your analysis should be broad but more importantly deep for your focus area. Once you have collected the information, you have to critically analyse it.
* Make recommendations to FFCRC management about how to solve the HESC project''s management challenge underpinned by a rigorous, contemporary theoretical and empirical basis. Think about your final recommendation as a very well-defined research area that the FFCRC could explore with HESC (e.g., you have undertaken a scoping study which identifies an area requiring significant attention). You are not designing technical solutions.
* Conclusions and recommendations are to be supported by evidence.
* Recommendations must include a practical implementation plan
* Recommendations should also identify risks associated with adoption
* Recommendations must also include an evaluation plan for your solution.
* Use a business report format.
Appendix: As a group, write a 500-word response to the feedback you received in your first two assignments and what you did in reaction to that feedback to develop your group assignment (this does not count towards your total word count).
Other useful information:
* You have to cite in text and in reference list, whenever you borrow somebody''s idea, info. and formatting should be consistent throughout the report.
